ton of the centennial anniversary of the
PRONUNCIATION Of the Constitution of the

one hundred years later is found per-
fcctly adapted to the needs and wishes Of

Perhaps no country aud at no poriod
Of the worlds history has the convention

more profoundly studied and comprehen-

fectually organized revolution against
the foolish tyranny of an English king
and against the arrogant wrong Of an
English parliament After victory IN

The extraordinary proportion Of men
who in that patriotic generation w,re

by the fact that Of the Fifty. Eve members

Declaration of Independence oulv s;x

The decision Of the Supreme Court.
Of Illinois, which has been locked fol-
ward to for months with intense interest
and anxiety both by the general public
and the friends Of the condemned aaarch-
lists, has at length been rendered. The
sentence Of the lower court is to be exc
cuted upon November IL. The only
remaining hope is admitted by Attorney
Foster. counsel for the prisoners. to be
in the Intervention Of Executive clemen-
cy. This is hardly likely to be exercised
SO the tragedy which has stirred the
country deeply for months will in all
probability soon be ended in the final
execution Of the sentence Of the law
While this is land of freedom it is also
one where law breakers will have justice
melted out to them.

foO to PIT az Egg ~ a Bot,,e.


A writer in the Rural New Yorker
tells the young folks how they may per
tiara the maggie feat Of putting au egg in
a bottle Like many other things i is
easy enough when ycu know how. This
is the way it is done: Soak fresh egg
for several days in strong vinegar TIE
acid Of the vinegar will eat the lime If
the shell, so that while the egg looks the
same it will be soft aud capable Of com
preston Select bottle with a neck
third smaller than the egg With liz
tie care you will have no trouble IN
pressing the latter into the bottle. Flu
the bottle half full Of lime water. and in
a f.w days you will have a hard sheIl,d
egg in bottle with neck a third small
cr than the egg OF course, you pour
III the lime water as the she'll hardens.
How the egg got into the bottle will be
a couundrum that few eau answer.

Office in a capahe way The lesson Of
1885 is still fresh in the minds of every
ono. Some votes we're purchased, but
the disastrous result that followed that
campaign was mainly due to the fact
shat the R'publican party hal been too
much addicted TO nominating incompe-
tent men for Office We do not mean to
ssy that all Of the many charges of in
competency brought against the Repnb
lican party in the county were true. r
No, BY no means, many Of them were
false and known to be false when
uttered. but some incompetent men
have gotten into office aud the result Of
the misfortune is lesson net soon to be
forgotten. Our state ticket commands
the esteem and respect of the entire

lacking in our duty to the people Of our
